[Shikigami name: Whale (alienated body)]
[Classification: C-level ghost story]
[Special skill: Skeleton Whale Spirit]
[Skeleton Whale Spirit: Transform into a whale and blow the conch horn, summoning up to 15 skeletal whale spirits to fight together. The body of the whale spirit exists in the Conch, and the skeleton is only a carrier. After the skeleton is broken, the transformed whale can blow the conch horn to reawaken it. ]
[Skill: Whale Bone·Shield]
[Whale Bone·Shield: The transformed whale plays a low-pitched conch horn with a modified pitch, commanding a skeletal whale spirit to apply a "whale shield" effect to a single target to resist damage. Only one unit protected by the Whale Shield can exist at the same time. ]
[Skill: Whale Bone·Open]
[Whale Bone·Open: The transformed whale plays the passionate conch horn with a modified tune, commanding a skeletal whale spirit, at the expense of the broken bones, exerting destructive power to attack the target. A single whale spirit released from Whale Bone·Open will be forced to return to the Conch to sleep after the attack. It can be reawakened after 12 hours. ]
Before Kamiyagawa entered the other world, he had checked the whale transformation ability information compiled by "Kaitan Monogatari".
Although only three skills have been summarized, the abilities of each are very good.
It is indeed a noble alienated body.
The special skill [Skeleton Whale Spirit] should be the core skill of turning into a whale.
This skill is indeed special enough and can summon 15 whales to join the battle!
Moreover, these whale skeletons are regenerable in a sense. After the skeletons are destroyed, they can still be regenerated.
Kamiyagawa had seen the corresponding effect when he was at the port just now.
This ability is similar to Mary's [Caged Bird] skill that summons the red spirit.
Mary's red spirit is also renewable in a sense. The entities of the nine spirits are actually all in the origami bird with black hair tied up and singing children's songs.
As long as the paper bird is not destroyed, the red spirit will remain immortal.
The same goes for the [Skeleton Whale Spirit] that turned into a whale.
As long as the whale spirit's body of the Drowning Conch is not destroyed, even if the skeleton collapses into powder, the whale spirit can still be summoned again after a specific cooling time.
Except for the special powerful summoning skills, the remaining two skills of the whale are [Whale Bone·Shield] and [Whale Bone·Open], both of which are skills that extend around the summoned object.
This is different from Mary.
Miss Mary herself is very strong, and the summoning skill [Caged Bird] is just the icing on the cake for her.
The whale is currently like a pure summoner, and the fifteen whales are his capital for combat.
On the contrary, it does not have very strong combat capabilities.
So in the battle at the port, the kid was completely suppressed just by being haunted by a few red spirits.
Speaking of which, Hua Whale had never used these two skills [Whale Bone Shield] and [Whale Bone Open] just now.
Maybe he was too concerned about "the little whale looking for its mother" at that time and was not too concerned about fighting.
[Whale Bone Shield] and [Whale Bone Open], one auxiliary skill and one attack skill.
Therefore, the whale should be able to be used as half an auxiliary shikigami.
In Kamiyagawa's current shikigami team, Dream Eater Tapir is a pure support. What Little Tapir is good at is mainly controlling enemies and giving them negative status.
Then, although Prajna is not weak in combat, he also plays auxiliary duties most of the time.
She is Kamiya's personal support, and the bonuses she provides cannot be enjoyed by other friends.
Now with the whale's [Whale Bone Shield], someone can finally add combat buffs to other friendly units and provide necessary support.
All in all, Kamiya is very satisfied with the new shikigami's abilities on paper.
…
Chatted with the new shikigami for a while.
Because Kamiyagawa swore that the contracted whale was to keep him alive, and he also promised to find him a mother in the future.
The whale seemed no longer as afraid of him as it was at the beginning.
This child has a very simple character, and he seems to believe whatever Kamiya says.
The possibility of deception or lying was not considered at all.
Kamiyagawa: "Whale, can your friends be summoned in such a non-water area?"
"Yes. But you can't scream like you do in the water."
The transformed whale picked up his conch, closed his eyes and played.
The snail whistle whined, with a plaintive voice.
A large number of faint blue light spots spurted out from the conch horn, overflowing like fireflies.
"Woo——"
"Buzz——"
Soon, the ethereal and melodious whale call followed.
In the sky above the cherry blossom forest of Hualinggui School, several skeleton whales composed entirely of white skeletons appeared screaming.
The huge whale's body was shimmering with the blue light of the conch horn. While chirping, it flipped up and down freely in the black night sky, moving as freely as in water.
This scene is strange, magnificent and dreamy.
Kamiyagawa counted eight skeleton whales in the sky.
Kamiya already understood the mechanism of the transformed whale blowing the conch horn to summon the skeletal whale spirit.
Just now on the edge of the pier, he had seen with his own eyes the transformed whale controlling the whale spirit to rush out of the water and float freely in the air.
To put it simply, when the skeletal whale spirit floats in the air, it needs the help of the whale's power, that is, it relies on the blue light spots floating from the Conch to hold up its body.
But simply moving in the water does not require consuming the power of the whale.
Based on the current strength of the whale, it can only control up to eight skeletal whale spirits to leave the water at the same time.
"It seems that the monsters in the ocean can only exert their full strength in the water. However, eight heads are enough. When fighting in non-water areas, whether it is [Whale Bone·Shield] or [Whale Bone·Open] , there is already room for maneuver.”
Kamiyakawa thought so.
"There are only so many, and the power of the whale is not enough."
The little whale held the conch horn in his hand and waved his fat tail, looking a little ashamed.
"It's okay, this is already very powerful, and it will become stronger in the future." Kamiyakawa patted the whale's head gently, and then stared at the whales in the sky for a while, seeming to have thought of something. , "Speaking of which, can you control these whale spirits to line up so that they bite each other's heads and tails?"
"OK."
The little whale didn't ask why he did this, and blew the conch again in cooperation.
The skeleton whales in the sky quickly arranged and combined under the guidance of blue light spots.
"It's really good." Kamiyagawa looked at the extremely vast black matrix of skeleton whales in the sky and felt excited. "Let them drop a little. I have an idea and want to do an experiment..."
…
After exchanging feelings with the whale in the other world, Kamiyagawa directly asked the latter to return to the shikigami statue.
He also lit a small requiem candle to help the other party heal his injuries faster.
After getting the water attribute shikigami, Kamiya came up with a bold idea.
After the whale recovers, he wants to do something big.
A big thing that I have always wanted to do, but never had the chance to accomplish.
That night Kamiyagawa had enough rest at the Taiji Hotel.
Early the next morning, I said hello to Tadokoro and Miss Mizuguchi, and set off back to Tokyo.
Anyway, he has nothing to worry about in Wakayama.
Next, just write the report and submit it, and wait to receive the task salary and contribution point rewards.
That afternoon.
Not long after Kamiyagawa returned home, he received a call from Uncle Yuki.
"Boy, did you resolve the matter in Wakayama so quickly?"
"yes."
"Didn't you say you're not good at water fighting?" Yuuki Makensuke asked with a smile.
"It's just good luck. The skeleton whales that appeared in the South China Sea of Wakayama were all summoned by a transformed whale. I forcibly contracted that transformed whale, so the riot was stopped."
"Well, I know this too. Contracts are also an effective means of withdrawal. Remember to write a report carefully. When you submit the report, your salary and contribution points should be issued to you in a few days."
Uncle Yuki's tone was calm and he just told him to write the report well.
Judging from his attitude, the organization probably didn't care that Kamiyagawa contracted Wakayama Kakee to be a shikigami.
"By the way, how many shikigami have you contracted with, five? With the spirit control technique you have learned, how many can you contract with?"
"I don't know either. My master only asked me to study hard and practice hard."
"Hiss... I think it is necessary to exchange each other's spirit control skills with you when I have some free time." Uncle Yuki said half-jokingly.
You know, even Yuki’s master——
Mr. Shengwei, the legendary spiritual master who relied on his own physical fitness to perfect the acacia spirit control technique, only contracted seven shikigami at his peak.
"Well, I'll definitely have the chance." Kamiyakawa nodded.
"Speaking of the art of controlling spirits, boy, that...that's that..." Uncle Yuuki said with rare hesitation, "It's the little pill you gave me before. Is there any way to get it? I found that it seems to be the same as me. The spirit control skills are very suitable for each other, and Xiao Xi’s strength has improved very quickly recently.”
"Yes, I can get some more for you."
From the medicine seller in Gao Tianyuan, a jar of [Jiuwei Qiangshen Pill] cost 650 soul crystals.
Since Uncle Yuki needs it, he can buy some more next time.
Giving the uncle two extra cans can be regarded as a reward for his long-term care for me.
If [Jiuwei Qiangshen Pills] is really so compatible with the Acacia Spirit Taming Technique, and if Yuuki Shinkenyu needs it in the future, Kamiya can also act as a middleman and continue to purchase goods.
Anyway, the uncle has contributed a lot of cash and organizational points, and he is also very righteous, so you will not suffer any loss in trading with him.
"That's great, kid. By the way, I'd like to thank you for Xiaozai." Yuki's tone was excited, and you could feel his radiance just by listening to his voice.
"As long as you live in harmony."
Afterwards, the two chatted casually on the phone.
I talked about the whale skeleton disaster in Wakayama——
Yuki Makensuke: "I think you also know, right? What happened in Wakayama is probably caused by whaling. The Special Investigation and Countermeasures Room has reported it to the authorities countless times, saying that it opposes the whaling regulations, but they have all failed. It’s of no use.”
Kamiyagawa: "Ah...the organization is against whaling?"
"Of course, you haven't seen the situation in Wakayama. Who wants to cause trouble for themselves? We don't have enough manpower. The politicians in charge of Japan are simply a bunch of bastards!"
"...That's right."
…
at the same time.
Kinan area in Wakayama.
The follow-up matters at the dock no longer need to be dealt with by the spiritual master. Uncle Tadokoro and Miss Mizuguchi returned to the office and began to write a report on this operation.
In their respective reports, they all highlighted the important role Kamiyagawa played in this operation.
Uncle and nephew Tadokoro are very willing to make friends with the "disciple of ghosts and gods" who appears like a comet in the world of removing spirits.
Not to mention Remi Mizuguchi, Kamiya saved her life in the dock battle last night.
As evidenced by their reports, Kamiya's reward this time should not be small.
Halfway through writing the report, Tadokoro Yoshio answered the phone.
It was Master Xiaofushan calling.
In the Wakayama area, the most powerful spirit exterminator is the old Master Fukuyama. He has been responsible for solving the skeleton whale disasters in the past.
However, in recent years, Master Fushan has become very old. In addition, due to the root cause of his previous illness, the old man's physical condition has not been very good.
It is difficult to go out and move around anymore.
The person who succeeded him was the direct descendant Master Xiao Fushan.
According to the original arrangement, the whale disaster in Wakayama Kinan would be evacuated by Master Kofuyama as an elite force.
However, in the past few days, Xiao Fushan happened to take on an urgent task and went out to remove spirits.
The above arranged for Kamiyagawa to take over as his replacement.
beep.
The call is connected.
Xiao Fukuyama: "Mr. Tadokoro, it's me, Fukuyama's Journey."
Tadoshi Yoshio: "Well, what's the matter, Master Xiaofushan?"
"That's it. I can rush back to Wakayama in the evening."
"At night? Didn't you say that your urgent mission will take at least a week?"
"The situation went surprisingly well and has been resolved. How is the situation with the skeleton whale disaster at your place?"
"Whale disaster... Well, Master Xiaofushan, don't you know? The ghost disciple sent from above came to Wakayama to help. Then last night we had a battle with a whale at the South Bank Pier..."
"I know about the Kamiya-gawa disciple. Oh? We had a fight last night? It sounds like you have briefly repelled the whale. That's great. I have to meet the young hero Kamiya-kun in the evening. .”
"Uh... it's short... Master Xiao Fushan, did you really not receive the notice?"
Faced with Kofuyama who actively returned to his hometown to cure the ghost story, Tadokoro Yoshio was a little confused as to how to speak.
really.
According to past experience in dealing with whale disasters, the battle will take several waves.
After some of the whales are defeated, the remaining ones will temporarily return to the sea and attack other places in the next few days.
It's a headache.
But this time... things are a little different.
"What's wrong? Mr. Tadokoro." Master Xiaofushan heard the strange tone in Tadokoro Yoshio's tone. This upright and enthusiastic new elite became slightly nervous, "The first wave of whale disaster treatment this time is not going well. Is it? It’s okay... I can come back in the evening, and if we discuss it carefully, we will definitely be able to remedy the situation."
"Actually, it's like this, Master Xiaofushan. Last night, Mr. Kamiya solved the whale disaster, and now the waters of Jinan have calmed down."
"After all, Mr. Kamiya has no experience in dealing with whale disasters. It is understandable that this kind of thing happened. It cannot be blamed... Wait a minute, what did you say!?"
Master Xiao Fushan, who was still calm at first, raised his voice and exclaimed.
Then fell into a long silence...
…
Two days after returning from Wakayama.
The world of strange stories.
Hualinggui School.
Kamiyagawa appeared from the edge of the fluorescent shrine.
When he entered the inner world this time, he didn't come here to conquer the new map [Live Fish Hotel].
The whale was healed by white powder with Prajna [medicine] properties and nourished by small requiem candles. He stayed in the shikigami statue for two days and is now back to normal.
When a new shikigami takes over, he will be led to do something big first.
Without much effort, Kamiyagawa managed to get rid of a small number of new Xiqi boys in the school with Ichimonji and arrived at the artificial lake area.
At the bottom of this lake, there is a luminous gap that connects this special map, [Hidden Rakshasa Sea].
In the Rakshasa Sea, a treasure ship of the Seven Gods of Good Luck appears, and there are seven treasure boxes on the ship that can be picked up.
When Kamiyagawa explored the hidden map for the first time, with the active help of Hannya and Zashiki, he opened three levels of boxes: A, D, and Ji.
Now there are four left.
He had been thinking about when he could open the remaining treasure chest.
Unfortunately, there is still a powerful Umibozu in the Rakshasa Sea.
Naamibozhu doesn't have any tendency to visit outsiders, but he is the most powerful enemy Kaidan that he encountered in the early stage.
Kamiyagawa, who had not seen much of the world at that time, estimated that the opponent might be a B-level or even A-level Kaidan.
Now that his corresponding experience has increased, he can judge Umibozu's strength more accurately.
Umibozu should be a B-level Kaidan, and he is likely to have upper-level B-level strength. He may also be an Aragami, stronger than Kamiya's Mari.
Since the last time he opened the box, Lord Umibo has been furious and clinging to the treasure ship.
But Kamiyakawa couldn't defeat the big demon.
None of his shikigami are proficient in water combat, and his combat effectiveness is greatly reduced when entering the deep sea area.
Kamiya's own Explosive Yin Lei, although blessed by the venue, could not do anything to Umibozu. During the 15 seconds of self-destruction, Umibozu can sink into the deep sea freely without being corroded by thunder.
The thorough strategy for [Hidden Rakshasa Sea] has been delayed to this day and has not been completed.
But today is different from the past. Kamiyagawa is back with his new contracted water warrior shikigami!
The huge whale skeleton summoned by the whale can move freely in the water and can serve as a stepping stone for Mary and the others.
As long as they don't fall directly into the sea, Kamiya's shikigami who are good at ground combat will be able to display considerable combat effectiveness.
"Do you understand what it means to be chained to a boat? Master Umibo, just wait for me."
Kamiyagawa was full of fighting spirit, tied [Drown Girl's Heart Hair] on his wrist, and jumped into the artificial lake.
Under the artificial lake, the water is cold and dark.
There used to be a lot of activity here, but now not a single one can be seen.
It was probably completely fried by the Kamiya River's early fish fry.
The deeper you dive, the darker the water around you becomes, and you can see turbid particles floating up and down in the water.
Once you reach the bottom of the lake, you will soon be able to find the teleportation point on the hidden map.
It was a gap, and you could feel a pulling force coming from it. Many luminous illusory golden threads surrounded the mouth of the crack, bursting but not scattering, like tentacles swaying slowly.
The experienced Kamiya dived directly and approached. When he got close to the luminous golden thread, the pulling force at the gap suddenly increased.
Kamiya River was instantly pulled into it and disappeared.
